I turned one of the weedwackers into a canoe airboat motor, with alot of trial and error I found the right metal and size blades, yup was. Fun for a bit lol
Nice! I got too deep (deeper than I really needed to) into my cheapo weed whacker, and bent the tab that presses on the needle lever. Now it won't prime. I've got to take it back apart, and bend the tab back. Argh!
Actually little Richard you can use either DAP or high temp gold gasket maker around the gas lines to seal any air leaks, yup learned the hard way lol but generally if you get the proper fuel line sizes you will not have air or gas leaks lol and some weed wackers are direct drive or clutched drive lol
I have always wondered why they don't put larger fuel tanks on these trimmers and chain saws. I have 2.8 acres and all fenced. I have to carry the gas can with me.
The carburetor usually has a designation like C1Q and a number. This is what you normally need for a kit. Having said that, some things are getting harder to find these days...

Normally on those carbs(as long as it's the same as mine) I use a straight edge across the top of the carb against the tab for the proper height
@@thehonestmechanic Thank you! I was going to just wing it; probably repeatedly. 😅

I have a Bolens trimmer and a Poulan chainsaw I have to rebuild the fuel systems on. Can't find the kits for either one.
I did this for 11 years for the Sears service center.
Cutting those lines is why I kept a good set of scissors in my tool box.

@@thehonestmechanic I need to look that up. Thanks. Sears had their own numbers. That's where I spent so long working on these.
